The Purpose of This Blog: The Guidebook to Standing Tall

The purpose of this blog is to formulate a guidebook that can accompany my patients on their way to health.  Ultimately, this blog will be organized into a booklet that someone can use on a day-to-day basis to develop healthy habits that over time, will transform their life.

Now that we know the purpose, let's take a moment and dive into the concept of Standing Tall.

Over a decade ago, I sat down with a patient of mine, Mitch Espe, and contemplated what I would call my chiropractic clinic I was about to establish.  We talked about the tings that I took care of, the ailments that people came in with, back pain, neck pain, headaches, musicians with hand problems, etc.  All of these were great things for advertising, but they did not lay out the essence of what my clinic, and me for that matter, were about.

We turned our attention away from what people were coming in with and started talking about what people would get out of the care that I gave.  We thought of energy, up-liftment, confidence, empowerment, passion.  We wanted a name that encompassed that something special that I help people achieve.  We came up with Standing Tall Chiropractic.

What does it mean to Stand Tall?


I'll share what it means to me, but ultimately, you will need to determine what it means for you.

To me, Standing Tall is like being prepared for something big.  It's about confidence, passion, power.  It's about stepping up to do the right thing and having the personal power to do it.  It is about living all out.  It's expressing who I am meant to be in life.


So what do you think of when you think of yourself as Standing Tall?

Go ahead.  Take a moment and stand up and stand tall.  How does it make you feel?

Do you see yourself as a superhero?

Do you feel more confident, more prepared?

Do you feel your breath deepen?  Do you feel more energized?

Do you feel more ready to take on ANYTHING?

Or, do you feel a sense of freedom, like my daughter, Evan?  Joy, child-like fun and expression?

Decide right now what it means for you to Stand Tall.  Write it down.  Put it on your wall or tape it to your mirror.
